Nothing says classic British sports car better that this wonderful
1976 Triumph TR6. With its sports cars being fitted only with
four-cylinder engines for the preceding decade and a half, Triumph
introduced a six-cylinder engine to extend the life and improve the
performance of the beloved TR series. Similar to the earlier
four-cylinder TR4A-the first TR with independent rear suspension -
but with Triumph's 2.5-liter, six-cylinder engine installed in
place of the old 2.1-liter four, the TR5 was produced during the
1968 model year only (October 1967 to November 1968), pending the
arrival of the TR6.
Restyled for 1969 by Karmann of Osnabruck, the TR6 sported a
full-width nose and squared-off tail. Under the skin the chassis
remained basically the same as its independently-rear-suspended
TR4A predecessor, while the 2.5-liter power unit was unchanged.
Handling was improved over that of the TR5 courtesy of wider wheels
and a front anti-roll bar.
For the sports car enthusiast in the early 1970s, the TR6 offered
speed, a throaty engine note, a smooth four-speed gearbox, and
exceptional road handling housed in a masculine, convertible body.
Nearly 50 years after the design was penned, the TR6 is still
considered to be one of the quintessential and most desirable cars
from the legendary Coventry manufacturer.
This 1976 Triumph TR6 is the right mix of originality and care. It
makes for the kind of value-priced classic that turns back the
clock the moment you turn the key. The factory-correct French Blue
paint color looks great on this classic roadster. The body has a
straight and clean look of quality and the chrome luggage rack adds
character. The clean black interior has a good look against the
classic Blue exterior. You know this is a driver's car from the
moment you sit down. The grippy sports steering wheel, well-placed
shifter, and a wood-faced dash full of Smiths gauges engage the
enthusiast in you.
The engine bay has the solid look of proper care. The 2.5-liter
inline-six backed by dual single barrel Stromberg carburetors with
spilt exhaust manifolds that exit through dual pipes to the muffler
is terrific package that gives you much more power than the average
British roadster. The TR6 is a driver's car, and this one really
loves to put a driver-ready attitude forward. The motor fires up
eagerly, making a nice exhaust note, and you have full control with
the four-speed manual transmission. The fully independent sports
suspension, front disc brakes and nimble steering give it a
confident feeling on the road.
